SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of the draft CPG entitled 
``Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 540.750 Use of The Seafood List to 
Determine Acceptable Seafood Names.'' The draft CPG, if finalized, will 
update the previously issued ``CPG Sec. 540.750--Common or Usual Names 
for Seafood in Interstate Commerce.'' The draft CPG is intended to 
provide guidance for FDA staff regarding use of The Seafood List to 
determine whether a seafood name is acceptable. The draft CPG explains 
when we may consider a seafood product to be misbranded under section 
403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343). The 
draft CPG also contains information that may be useful to the regulated 
industry and to the public.
    We are issuing this draft CPG consistent with our good guidance 
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft CPG, when finalized, 
will represent our current thinking on acceptable names for seafood in 
interstate commerce. It does not establish any rights for any person 
and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternate 
approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes 
and regulations.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the draft CPG from 
FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs CPG history page at http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/default.htm or http://www.regulations.gov. Use the FDA Web site listed 
in the previous sentence to find the most current version of the 
guidance.
